Mortal Path Screenplay wins Best TV Script!


WINNER!


 Feedback Excerpts for "Bound by Blood," TV Pilot Episode for the Mortal Path series:

The concept for Mortal Path is refreshingly original in both its idea and execution. The way history and mythology are merged to together to create a unique story is astonishingly intelligent. There is a near limitless possibility of episodes in each of Susannah’s attempts to save souls.

Susannah is a deep, complex protagonist that has a tragic, yet interesting story. The teaser is an effective of way showing her heightened spiritual sensibilities and how that arouses skepticism in those around her. Despite her moral failings, there are a lot of scenes showing that she has a deep desire to do good, which makes her more likable.

Mortal Path is rich with impressively written emotionally poignant dialogue. One of the strongest aspects of Mortal Path is the vivid way a wide variety of emotional scenes are depicted in the script. The strong concept gives it an exciting amount of market potential. The dynamic nature of the story easily lends itself to serialization. The fact that its already based on an established book series inspires more confidence in producers looking to pick up the series.

Final Comments:

Mortal Path ("Bound by Blood" TV Pilot) is an impressively written pilot that sets up an amazing idea for a series. The characters are easy to empathize with and the writing of the script is emotionally poignant. The level of detail that went into the vivid descriptions is highly impressive.

    1. Sharon, I won that script contest!! I've been putting my quarantine time to good use. I thought from the beginning that the Mortal Path would make a good TV series. Now comes the really hard part: actually getting it on TV. Wish me luck.

  2. Much luck and success. I wish we'd get another book and I enjoy books that mix mythology and history. HOWEVER, your series is off the trodden path in that not many know the history and myth of the Mortal Path series. Not only is that refreshing but unique as well. It's a special treat for us that do know some of that history.
